Hi all, i would like to try my Uberti 1873 replica revolver cal 45 with a black powder reload.
I just reload 10 ammo with about 40 grains of FFG black powder with a 255 lead bullet. I'm sure that the barrel pressure will be below the normal ammo made with modern powder, i usually use W231 7,2 grains, but becouse the black powder it is very compressed in the cases my question is:
Is the uberti 1873 revolver strong enough to support the black powder detonation ?
thanks BR Riccardo
